I just came from the unionista candidate forum over at the Bray Center, and was I ever glad to escape. The inanity, self-serving arguments, whining, and pledges to again make the state safe for public employee unions to run roughshod over the taxpayers got old pretty quickly. Neither Barret, nor Falk, nor LaFollete, nor what's her name (It's Vinehout, but don't bother remembering it because it won't matter in two weeks except as a question on the Belling New Year's Quiz), nor Arthur Kohl-Riggs, the Moes look-alike from "The Office" running as a fake Republican had any connection to fiscal or economic reality whatsoever.

Falk and Barret, the only two of the candidates who mattered, both were equally strident in their calls to return public employees to their previously pampered status, and equally evasive in how they were going to pay for it. Falk kept repeating her mantra of repealing the "Walker Tax Cuts" - which, it should be pointed out, were enacted to repeal taxes passed by Doyle in the last year of his administration, which almost cost this state two major employers, Mercury Marine and Harley-Davidson. Those taxes included the controversial "combined reporting" tax which would have created new Wisconsin tax liabilities for Wisconsin-based companies for all income earned worldwide - yet another attempt to make Wisconsin businesses less competitive globally.

The best denial of reality, however, had to come from from Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett, who was lamenting his receipt of a mass layoff notice from one of the city's major employers, mining equipment manufacturer Caterpillar. He was quick to blame Governor Walker for this and other job losses, but failed to explain exactly how Walker's policies were responsible. Let's see, what did Governor Walker do that might have harmed the mining equipment industry? Did he obstruct the construction of a large iron mine in Wisconsin, that would have created thousands of jobs, both directly, and indirectly through sales of mining equipment? Nope, sorry Mayor Barrett, that was your party, the democrats, who killed the mine, just like it was your party who killed the Keystone pipeline, just like it was your party whose anti-business choke the golden goose strategies have killed or driven off so many other Wisconsin companies, and with them the jobs that support the Wisconsin taxpayers that make the public sector possible.

So Barrett blames Walker for something directly attributable to the democrats in the legislature - and the crowd of unionistas wiggle their fingers occupy-style in glee. That is what passes for critical thought by the left in Wisconsin - and that's exactly what we saw on display at the Bray Center this evening.

Hi there! Someone in my Myspace group shared this site with us so I came to take a look. I'm definitely enjoying the information. I'm book-marking and will be tweeting this to my followers!Terrific blog and brilliant design and style.

I'm really impressed together with your writing abilities as smartly as with the layout for your blog. Is this a paid subject or did you modify it your self? Anyway keep up the excellent high quality writing, it's rare to see a great blog like this one nowadays..

Hi this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding expertise so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!

I'm impressed, I have to admit. Seldom do I come across a blog that's equally educative and interesting,and let me tell you, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is an issue that not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about. I'm very happy that I stumbled across this during my search for something concerning this.

Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iphone and tested to see if it can survive a 30 foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My iPad is now broken and she has 83 views.I know this is entirely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
